I found a new graphics card, but I'm not sure if I should upgrade yet.

I'm surprised how many legacy products (i.e. graphics cards without support) are still being sold as "new" today.

Well at least it's not as bad as the Android mobile market. Google Pixel provides three years worth of support, but the rest get only 18 months regardless of whether it's a high end or a low end model. The idea behind that as you might have guessed is to induce users to buy a new phone.

As far as Samsung is concerned, it's up to each individual country to update the firmware and some countries are pretty lax. My own Galaxy J5 (2016) last received a firmware update in December last year and is still running Marshmallow 6.0.1 According to the latest Google security bulletin it's now accumulated 239 critical security vulnerabilites which Samsung hasn't patched yet. I've stopped using it now for all but the most trivial of tasks.
